The Dunes

The trip has actually begun. After packing up camp, we headed towards west Wyoming to see the 2nd largest moving sand dunes. Ok, what does that mean? Not sure, but it sounds cool. That meant another 4 hour drive with you know who. So, while tyrannosaurs Rex made a couple appearances, the comedy was trying to keep the jeep on the road while Alex screemed Moooo at all the cows. They would just look up at us as we passed and he would laugh hysterically. Yeah, stuck in the jeep too long.
We made it to the turnoff near Rock Springs. The landscape is beautiful. We proceeded down a dirt road, towards no civilization, and found out there were petroglyphs on the area. We parked the jeep, hikes a little ways, and found the 200 to 1000 year old rock carvings. Didn't know John hearts Sue was going on 1000 years ago. Sad, but there was some modern artwork mixed in.
Down the dirt rode we went. Even in 4 wheel drive we had to turn back once, the sand was thick.
We arrived at our camp and went to play on the dunes. I tried surfing down, but the board didn't slide good so I went about 2 mph.
We saw more deer, and the largest jack rabbit ever. Laran, I tried to get you a lucky rabbits foot, but it was too fast.
All and all a great day and quite tiring. We are spending the night here, very far from civilization.
Although, as I type the sun is setting and some 4 wheelers have appeared on the dune. The sunset actually is rivaling one from home.
Oh, and just a side note, moths are terrible out here.
Too keep the game going, tonight is night 3 with no sleeping expense. The game continues, but may be near an end. Although, my trusty navigator thinks we can sleep and dash our way around the country.
Good night all!

That's a great picture but I would stay slightly down a bit at a location with a different name just to play it safe.
